Can anybody identify this shift lever arm, picked it up at a swap meet and apparently it is not correct for a 350 turbo.
Been unable to find any info on the part number 8695 W
Thank you in advance. :)

Looks like a later TH400 or 91-94 4L80E selector shaft lever.

Thank you, but looks like doesn’t help. I was hoping somebody would know exactly what it’s for.
Like maybe a picture of it on a transmission.

Italicized formatting isn't necessary, nor is telling me that 'looks like doesn't help'...
Since no one else has responded, I'm venturing to guess you'll be waiting quite a while for that photo (but hope I'm wrong, for your sake).

That said, why are you not looking for a known TH350 selector shaft linkage bracket, if that is what you need as opposed to buying a bracket at a swap meet you seem to be completely unfamiliar with?
Most are simple U-shaped brackets that are as common as houseflies and work on TH350s, 400s and 700R4s.

The pic of the bracket you posted has a circular cutout for integrating a nipple-style attachment that mates with the engagement end of a shift cable on a cable-driven range selection system. The stamped 'part number' is prob the type of steel used to produce that bracket as it appears to be aftermarket. Early 4L80Es also have a similar bracket, hence why I put that out there for your consideration.

Maybe someone else can provide exactly what you're asking for...

Thanks for the reply, meant no disrespect to you.
I did find the correct bracket I was looking for.
But was hoping that somebody could identify the bracket I bought by accident so I could post it for sale on eBay as I would not post a bracket unless I knew exactly what it was for.
I know the the U-shaped one you’re talking about for the 350 turbo or 400. The one I needed looks similar to the one I bought my mistake. It has the two slotted holes for the swivel that goes over to the frame and the arm that sticks down for the floor shift.
